Doing it after he’s already played a match for his new club is odder. Massive PR exercise given that a lot of $ity fans didn't even want him. Give it a few weeks and they'll be furious when he keeps slowing attacks down so he can try and beat the same player 3 times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what grealish is IMO He will slow it down trying to look for the perfect pass, the problem usually being at villa the movement is so bad the pass was never on At city the pass should be on given the quality around him I don't think grealish was ever about selfishly and greedily trying to show off and beat his man, its more about being on his wavelength 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then the deafening calls to call Jack up were too loud to ignore, but he still used him sparingly. On 28/07/2020 at 15:07, Keyblade said: Honestly think they've been holding off on giving him a call up for so long to eventually force him to move to a bigger club. Even if he rides the bench for a top 6 club, he'd invariably be in the England team. But him pulling up trees at Villa and looking like one of the best players of the league for some odd reason wasn't enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just know when he plays really well it will be down to Pep and his brilliant management. Least when Platt left he went abroad and this was the days before the internet so it was out of sight, out of mind! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm coming down to earth a bit, thinking about that 100 million. I'm not saying he's not a talented footballer, but no way worth 100 million, Lukaku's coming for 98m. We all know he was 60 mil, 100 million we took there pants down.......................................an it feels gooood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few on blue moon suggesting that at least for the start there'll be an air of excitement every time he touches the ball that no one else in their current squad brings and for all the talent I think they're right, even KDB for all hsi quality isn't exciting IMO The David Silva comparisons will be hard to overcome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player no doubt but I think exciting is something else that's hard to pin down Sterling would be another example for England or City, maybe bernardo too and of course foden, foden should end up being a better player, better stats too but he's never going to go on the kind of run Jack made vs Rotherham, Leeds, Burnley or arsenal That's why these gazza comparisons were thrown out there, he has that maverick element to him that's incredibly watchable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the community shield it looked a lot like what his England performances looked like; stifled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think any of us thought he was worth £100m in terms of talent, just £100m to us as he was our talisman, captain and impossible to replace (at least as a single player). All in all the price was right for everyone. I do get the feeling he will flop though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
